asked on

computer for graphic design

I'm building a new PC for graphic design. It won't be mac. Running Windows 7. Also running multiple adobe applications at one time. Work with a lot of high end graphics.

Anyone have recommendations on what to buy these days. Planning on an i7 processor.

Suggestions on anything appreciated.

would you recommend using a solid state drive? If so why. I was planning on a WD Raptor.

I don't think a solid state drive really gives you a good return for what you spend.  I use a VelociRaptor myself and find it sufficient.  An SSD would be worth it if you did a lot of tasks that ended up waiting for files to load or be saved, but I don't think that will be the case here.
